"The same way I eventually became numb to that stupid nickname."

He hasn't been called Shin-chan in such a long time, it's almost jarring. It's standing out each time he says it, even if he can't imagine it in anyone's voice but Takao's.

"I'll have them send my hospital bills to you in the future then."

It almost sounds like a joke, but Midorima will probably put Takao as his emergency contact. He can deal with the bills as he gets old.
